Hi Joel,



Your first decision must be, "what are you cataloging?"  The resources are online (electronic resources), so are you cataloging the conference as a whole, just the main page: http://www.sylviaioannoufoundation.org/conferences/2nd-international-conference/organisation.html ?  Or, will you catalog each page separately?  (Organisation, Welcome Speech, etc.)



If you choose the first option, the individual pages could be listed as content notes in the bibliographic record for the conference, with the "main entry" authorized access point being the heading for the conference:

111  2_  Corsairs and Pirates in the Eastern Mediterranean, 15th-19th c. $d (2014 : $c Athens, Greece)

505 0_   Welcome address -- Keynote speech -- Papers -- Speakers -- Conclusions.



If you choose the second option, you could catalog each web page separately and link the bib records for them with 711 fields for the authorized access point for the conference.  For example, if you catalog the "Papers" page, you could list all the presentations in a contents note.  I would include a 546 note about the languages and abstracts, and a 500 note to generally describe the content.  It looks to me like the content consists of videos and slide presentations, with abstracts of some of the papers but not the papers themselves, right?



When cataloging the proceedings of a conference that are published together (on this website), you don't need to describe the proceedings in great detail, so a general note should suffice.  Follow the rules for cataloging the conference as an electronic resource.  This one seems to be a monograph, not an integrating resource, because I don't see the content as continually changing.



Don't forget your 588 note:   Description based on online resource; title from xxxxx page (viewed on Month day, 2014)



Hope this helps,

Subject: cataloging question, "Corsairs and Pirates in the Eastern Mediterranean, 15th-19th c."



I was wondering what approach some of you might take to cataloging this Oct. 2014 conference in Athens: 

http://www.sylviaioannoufoundation.org/conferences/2nd-international-conference/papers.html

. Abstracts are in English, although that is not consistently the case for the video presentations. Some of the lectures also have accompanying slides. Just curious.



     Thanks in advance,   Joel Kovarsky
